The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Can we power the world using magnets?

Coal is burned to create steam which is used to push a generator which causes energy and electricity. Coal destroys the world and is going run out soon. Is there a way to push generators using high powered magnets? It seems to work for magnet trains, would it work for generators? If not, what’s the […]

Electrolytic Cells and “Over potential”?

My professor wrote: Eapplied – Ecell= over voltage… then, he said in an aqeuous NaCl cell, E ovr (H2O/O2) > E ovr (Cl-/Cl2) and therefore Cl-/Cl2 occurs. What does this mean? I am very confused! Also, When choosing, is it best to pick the half reaction with the higher overpotential? umm, thanks but so not […]
